There is no possible way to respond to that without bringing subjectives into the mix, they are completely different games, serve two completely different audiences, have completely different themes, and are made by completely different companies/people.

We've been patient with you so far, but don't push it. You can gush over the excellence of the SRW series all you want and nobody will stop you but if you continue in this manner, don't expect your stay to be long or pleasant. Commit this to memory.

They oversaturated the market and I've gotten a bit tired of the games, good run or not.

Also, don't be surprised when you are a newcomer and start acting like big dog on campus, and someone decides you're not welcome to do so. Again, we've been patient. You are entitled to your opinion, but nothing else. I'm not insulting you, just reminding you that you can't violate our rules and act like a jerk and expect to be treated with respect. Remember that.

Listen, you're ignoring a bigger thing about why this isn't a good counterpoint to people who say JRPGs are declining: ALMOST NONE OF THE GAMES COME TO THE US AND SO NO ONE CARES. Most everyone who talks about the genre being in a decline are those not living in Japan looking at what they CAN play, and for them (and some of the other games you trumpeted) stuff like this simply does not count, not to mention the fact it fails to get brought over can be argued as another reason the genre's in a decline anyway. Even if it did though I bet they'd slam it for being repetitive or something.

I like you an all, but to say nobody cares about srw here is a little silly.Super robot wars has never been one of those kinds of series that get localized. But the fan base is as real now as it was 20 years ago.Whether they think it counts or not, the games still exist and are being released to the fanbase.

Also in general this gen more japanese rpgs are localized than ever and more series, and games from past gens are getting localized in this one.

I have a master list of almost all video games released. And theres been just as many made and localized as any other gen.

You have to remember during the snes gen. Most games we take for granted today like megaten, tales, fire emblem, star ocean,final fantasy, dragon quest and more where not localized.

It's an exaggeration, but that's the thing: the English speaking fanbase is SMALL, and beyond that people either don't know about the series, just know it's the robot strategy game, or they know a decent amount but don't even try caring because it's a licensing nightmare to get any but the OG games out here anyway. It is completely irrelevant to whether the genre is or isn't in a decline. It really isn't worth dragging up in this thread, especially when you did it in other, more relevant ones anyway.

Translation projects for these games spans years. But they pull through because thats how much the games mean to us.

The way I see it ( and some others Ive spoken too) decline/death whatever you want to call it is more about # of games and less about how people feel about games. So in that way SRW has thrived more this gen, than last, when 2 of the games did get localized.

Anyway lets get back on topic and talk about Z2-2 which is shapping up to be great

Still doesn't matter to the argument about whether they're in a decline or not because that's just as much about popularity as anything else, and we have gone on about this long enough. Time to go back to regular SRW talk or I'll lock this.
